Membership

Full members enjoy full club privileges and are the primary type of club member. They have full use of the facilities and equipment. Full members have equity ownership in the club and are eligible to serve on the Board of Governors. Full membership includes the primary member and all members of the family including unmarried children under age 21. Full members must own a sailboat, subscribe to the objectives of the club, and contribute a proportionate share of time to maintain the club and its activities.

Special membership is a short term membership available to those that are new to sailing, the area, or have other circumstances where a one year trial membership is appropriate. Special members must demonstrate sincere interest in sailing. Special members shall have the same obligations and privileges as full members except that ownership of a sailboat is not required. The Club’s boats may be used with supervision for instruction until certified and according to Club procedures thereafter. Special members that do own a sailboat will not have use of the Club grounds for storing their boat. Special members do not have an equity interest in the club and may not be elected to the Board of Governors. Special memberships are for one year, with the possibility of a second year at the discretion of the Board.
